  "account": "Berlin's Left Party faction leader Elif Eralp has stressed her determination to become the elected mayor of the capital city, despite all obstacles. Speaking at a regional party conference, she said, \"We will not back down, and I will not give up.\" Eralp noted that every day brings new attempts to force them and her into giving in. Even German Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) is attempting to \"extort\" the Green and SPD parties to prevent a coalition government from forming in Berlin. Eralp describes this as an \"assault wave\" that the Left Party will overcome. She emphasized, \"The people of this city elected us for change, and we will deliver it.\" The public expects the Left Party to do everything possible to improve their lives. Eralp also noted a \"destructive dimension\" in external criticism: the accusations against her and her party have lost all meaning. \"And why? Because we plan to put people at the center of our politics, not profit. Because we plan to tackle the property question.\" The Left Party aims to nationalize housing for large corporations in Berlin.",
